RaoulDook, to lemmyshitpost in Yeah, but...

Yeah I had one and the battery life was not great, so you could not use it in all of those places unless you were rich and had an endless supply of AA batteries. I had the original B&W Gameboy and the added magnifier / light combo that took even more batteries.

It was good for a couple hours on one set of 4 AA batteries if I recall correctly. We did have rechargables back then but they were Ni-Cad and they sucked, took forever to recharge.

RaoulDook, to memes in Japan is living in the future that the 1990s dreamed of.

Businesses in the USA, especially regions with a higher proportion of black or hispanic residents, will go out of business if they stop accepting cash. It’s not going to happen.

A big difference between then and now is the portable nature and ubiquity of the devices.

Back then you didn’t take your NES to bed and keep playing it, or play Sega on the toilet, or Atari at the dinner table.

The devices are in every space of our lives now.

They can hang out anywhere they want actually. We didn’t have any kid hangout places back in the 90s and we biked and skateboarded all over town. We hung out with friends in parking lots and stores, wherever we wanted to basically.

The problem is the frame of mind that they need a structured environment to do their activities when they don’t.

They can’t stop me from using cash if I want to though. It is legal tender for all debts, public and private.

Without cash, you can’t have privacy. All card or contactless payments are logged and probably sold to advertisers or anyone with enough cash who wants that info.

I’ve never had to pay a fee to withdraw cash from an ATM in the USA, unless it was from a different bank than mine. Other banks charge for the convenience of taking your money from their ATM, when you don’t have an account with their bank or affiliate.

It’s easy to avoid those fees by just going to your own bank’s ATM.

RaoulDook, to comicstrips in Darth Vader vs Wolverine [deliberatelyburied]

Yes, the beskar armor that the Mandalorians have has been shown to block lightsabers several times. I’m betting that adamantium is stronger than beskar, so Darth Vader could only cut Wolverine until he hit bones, and then Wolverine just shrugs it off. The Force telekinesis would be more dangerous to him.

RaoulDook, to memes in More guns = safer

There are 74 million children aged 0-18 in the USA. Going by your numbers, that means in 2021 that 99.99999% of children in the USA were not harmed by guns.

RaoulDook, to memes in Air cooling is just better

There are also great coolers that come on stock cards, you just have to pick one that isn’t shitty. No temp issues with my EVGA or Gigabyte cards that have huge heatsinks and 3 big fans on them.

RaoulDook, to memes in Were this the ‘good ole times’ they always talk about?
RaoulDook, to linuxmemes in Just because it’s better than windows doesn’t make it good

The Home folder is there, but you just didn’t know how to find it. What you experienced was “not knowing what you’re doing” which just means you needed to learn how to use what you were trying to use.

RaoulDook, to memes in I have never understood that.

Yep I saw some Indians near Atlanta who were wearing big coats when it was just a hair below 70 F outdoors. I was out there loading stuff into my car in shorts and a T-shirt and they looked at me funny.

The opposite of that, that I also saw was my portly Eskimo friend, who was in shorts and a T-shirt in the actual winter time when I needed a big coat. He was like “You think this is cold?”

RaoulDook, to comicstrips in They aren't boards, and they don't hover!

Back in my day, we didn’t have no dang hoverboards, and hoverboards were a thing of the future from 2015 when Marty McFly would fly across the silver screen on his one true hoverboard. I spent the best years of my life working on anti-gravity technology with the hope that I could one day too fly like Marty, on a real hoverboard, but now I just sit in my own graveyard of failed dreams while the kids are zoomin’ around on their wheely-scooters and calling them hoverboard. Thanks Obama!

RaoulDook, to movies in Box Office: ‘The Marvels’ Gets Grounded With MCU’s Second-Lowest Opening Day Ever

I don’t go to any of the movies in the theater but I watch a lot of them on my nice big TV at home.

They are a hell of a lot more interesting than the average boring TV show about Cops, Judges, Doctors, and Lawyers. Maybe there should be a superhero that combines all those like Dr Cop Judge, Attorney at Law and Private Investigator for Hire. Judge Dredd wasn’t enough.
